  Side Story Namesake: Love, Love, Love by Avanche City

  5:00 AM

  I wake up early in the morning. A farmer's day starts before dawn, although nowadays I only wake up early due to habit. To get out of the bed, I've got to take Bel's legs off me and get Chern to let go of my hand. After I take a while to do that, I get dressed and go outside. Chern and Bel's battle against their former party member, my former boss' wife, and a maid destroyed my fields, and since it was past the middle of the season, I've chosen not to repnt. Fortunately, my excess crop storage was untouched in the battle, so we have enough food for the time being. Since the boss' mansion burned, I haven't had to send in any supplies to her, so I have even more excess. Oddly convenient, considering the extra mouths that live with me now. For now, I feed the livestock and do some of the outdoor chores while it's still nice and cool.

  6:00 AM

  The cows, chickens, and singur crocodile are fed. The crocodile was given to me on a whim by the boss, and I've taken care of it for three years. Her name is Polly, and she was my only company before Chern and Bel came crashing into my life.

  On the day I met them, I was coincidentally on my way to deliver vegetables for the boss. Usually, she gets her wife to pick up stuff, but this time I was told to deliver it myself and to leave some extra space in my wagon. I just so happened to come across Chern and Bel, who were passed out on the side of the road, and took them back to my home, nursing them back to health.

  7:00 AM

  By this time the sun should have shone its light, which is my cue to go back in the house. At this time I'll be preparing breakfast for the three of us. Bel would have awakened at this time, a habit of her church days, according to her, and would be doing a small prayer in a makeshift shrine she made beside my shed. Chern, on the other hand, would stay stuck to the bed.

  After making breakfast and putting it on the table for Bel, I go to the bedroom to wake up Chern. There's a multitude of ways I wake her up. Poking her face, flipping the bed, spping her silly, an elbow drop, two elbow drops, three elbow drops, but I think today I'll just do a normal shake. Chern isn't really a morning person due to her past as a ninja, messing up her sleep schedule. She almost got a normal sleep schedule when she went on that adventure with the Hero party, but then ended up having too many sleepless nights with the Hero, then with both the Hero and Bel, and then with just Bel. The more they talk about that Hero party, the more debauched I think they were. I guess those stories about perverted heroes my mom used to tell me were true.

  8:00 AM

  We spend a few minutes wolfing down breakfast, then spend more than half an hour talking to each other. Despite having lived together for a few months, it feels like we never run out of conversation. Through these morning conversations, I've managed to learn a lot about the two and even about myself. For example, Chern likes sweet fruits, Bel likes hot drinks, and I really like watching people eat my cooking, especially if it's some of my more disgusting dishes. Maybe they're right about me being a bit sadistic, but I can't help but find their disgusted faces cute.

  9:00 AM

  Although the boss has relocated to some other pce, I still make some deliveries to other pces. It's just that it was the boss I gave the biggest batch to. As for who I was delivering to, it was just the Lake Spirit who lived in the nearby ke and the sealed demon who lived in a small cottage nearby. This is also the time I spend with Bel, as Chern locks herself in the attic to tend to her weapons, poison, and other ninja stuff she has up there. The walk to the Lake Spirit is short, only taking ten minutes. The Lake Spirit also takes the supplies to the sealed demon, who tends to ask for flower seeds for his garden. It should be a 20-minute walk to and back, but...

  10:00 AM

  Bel likes her fun.

  11:00 AM

  Really likes her fun.

  12:00 PM

  Bel finally gets enough of her fun, allowing us to go back home. At this time of day, Chern will go on a patrol in the surroundings, taking out any monsters or bandits, alongside Bel. Of course, Bel is tagging along for a different reason, meaning I shouldn't be seeing them for the next two hours. This is typically the most boring part of the day for me. I usually start this lull with feeding the animals. Polly enjoys eating raw goblins for some odd reason. After feeding them, I tend to any damage Chern might've done to the house while I was delivering stuff.

  01:00 PM

  To pass the time, I typically read during this time. Before, I got books from the boss, who had a massive library, even though she already knew a lot, but nowadays I read from either Bel's or Chern's libraries. As it turns out, when you're part of the Hero's Party, you get taught a special Space Magic spell that lets them store some stuff. Although, by the sounds of it, the Hero was rather stingy with it, and only gave it to Bel and Chern after some 'payment'.

  Anyways, Bel has a lot of books reted to religion. As it turns out, theology is important when you're a priestess. You'd think she'd have more pornographic material, but in her own words: "Why do I need such books when I could indulge in the acts myself?" Chern, on the other hand, doesn't have any ninja-reted books, saying those are confidential. She does have a lot of romance books, though.

  02:00 PM

  There's only so much theology my brain can understand and cringy romance my heart can take before I put down their books. I've still got an hour before they return from their 30-minute patrol, so I will use this time to cook up lunch for the three of us. Chern's patrols also double as hunting. Even though we live on a farm, she still hunts monsters to ensure her skills don't dull, and I usually end up cooking whatever she hunts in a day for the next day's lunch. Yesterday, she hunted a giant shark on the coast past the boss' old mansion. She apparently heard about the shark from the nearby vilge, which has recently moved into the forest after the duchess disappeared and the boss moved away.

  Anyways, I'm going to cook the whole shark. It may be enough to feed a vilge, but Bel and Chern are former heroes. They eat a lot. They say it's to compensate for the energy they use on patrols, but it's very obvious what the energy was really used for.

  03:00 PM

  They finally come back, and exactly at the moment when I finished cooking up the shark soup. Chern seems to have a talent for knowing when I finish cooking and cims it's thanks to the Sacred Power that connects us, but me and Bel can't do the same.

  Speaking of that Sacred Power, it sure has been handy for farmwork. Not saying I wasn't weak before, but I certainly couldn't lift a cow until now. Apparently, the effects of it kicked in for Bel and Chern when they first met the Hero, but they chalked up their growing strength to him as opposed to being with each other.

  04:00 PM

  After lunch and a long chat, Bel uses this time to retreat to her makeshift shrine for her daily prayer, which is apparently different from her waking prayer and sleeping prayer. The biggest difference is that this one takes one to two hours and has Bel talking directly to her goddess. Chern reckons that, rather than praying, she's just gossiping with her goddess, and I find myself thinking that too.

  That does mean it leaves me alone with Chern, and honestly…

  05:00 PM

  We're not any better than Bel.

  06:00 PM

  We are really not any better than Bel.

  07:00 PM

  At this time, I start preparing dinner. Considering how big our lunches are, it's usually something lighter. Today, I'm going to be using some of the leftover shark and grill it. According to the boss, it goes great with the alcohol the local demon makes, who trades bottles with my seeds. While I'm cooking dinner, both Bel and Chern like to hang around in the kitchen. Surprisingly, this doesn't lead to dinner being deyed ever, except on days where I start cooking earlier. With how small our dinner is, I typically cook it and then serve it within the hour.

  08:00 PM

  It's bath time. Of course, all three of us go in at the same time. Believe it or not, however, nothing happens. We just bath normally. No particur reason as to why we don't do it in the bath. I guess it's just not us.

  09:00 PM

  It's almost bedtime, so this is when we do the st chores of the day. Chern goes to put away her ninja gear as well as set up traps around the house for any night intruders, Bel goes to do the st prayer of the day, and I go feed the animals. Usually I feed them any leftover lunch. Polly seems to enjoy the shark.

  10:00 PM

  It is time for bed. Or rather, what happens in bed. I've gotten less sleep since I picked up the two, but I'm not exactly miffed about it. Things happen when they happen. Anyways, that's it for today.
